Heavy meta: Why am I So Single? @sosinglemusical

Being young and single never seemed so fun, full of energy, yet full of contradictions in this high-concept meta-musical, Why Am I So Single? The fourth wall is not so much broken as endlessly pummelled as the cast talks directly to the audience. Frequently. But essentially, it’s about young people with neuroses and smartphone addiction exploring why they can’t find love in present-day London. Told with a series of spectacular songs and dance scenes in this new musical from the creators of Six, Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss. But while we don’t necessarily get an answer that rings true to the question posed by this show, you are likely to be distracted mainly by the energy and the songs. It’s currently playing at the Garrick Theatre.  A new musical based on an original idea, the premise is that Oliver (Jo Foster) and Nancy (Leesa Tulley) - which are not their real names but names taken from their favourite musical, Oliver - have to write a new musical but are stuck for an idea.

Unfortunately he met me when I was being boistrous asking for a leaving collection damn it. Now he'll think I'm bit assertive and not nice and shy like I really am! hehe

Oh so he met you when you were just acting naturally rather than suppressing your personality!

I can just picture it... was it something like...

A (to all staff on the 10th floor): Give me your money for R's leaving do and if it is less than £5 I am going to tell him who was stingy...

And then from across a crowded room there he was... The music started to swell...

I have taken two syndol to get rid of this migraine and it has made me feel strangely relaxed and comfortable... But I don't think it has had any other effect...
